to throw or not to throw your saber

apparently George Lucas and all the pple at lucasarts thought it was a legal manuever, otherwise they wouldnt put it as a cappability in the game. i dont play mp but i use it like HELL in sp.

Throw is a good tactic for use against heavy stance players, those who keep using yellow finishers, etc. The lag in the move at the end of the animation is a good point to toss your saber.

 

Also, for heavy and even yellow players it's easy to toss into their swings... best to be very close. In fact, if you're close enough, the opponent doesn't even realize you're throwing.

 

I also use it as a counter to the blue stance monkey that runs around (sometimes with Force Speed) swinging wildly. Two or three good tosses usually chills them out.

 

BTW... I have a key binded to say "Here... catch!"

i say that throwing your saber is a bad idea.its a waste of the force meter for me.

Throw is best used asan interlinking move in and between combos, where you want to add that extra 30hp damage, eg. pull+Kick+throw or a knock down you are too far away to reach... it can be abused badly when all one does is pull+throw though, and it becomes a boomerang contest

ya thats right. kick works best in a combo

pull throw is also good for killing ppl who forget about drain/bacta and run after dark rage runs out.

Saber throwing newbs. Cant figure out how to fight? So sit back an throw your saber into a crowd of ppl. Not a cheat, just more gay cheap spam. To block. DO NOTHING! Autoblock will catch it.

I agree.... the newbs get annoying, but their easy to defeat when they throw.... But if you use it right, Throw can be a nice tool in a fight. The trick is to throw when they can't block.... visit me sometime on FES public... I show you what I mean.

I use as one of those "bored-and-feel-like-doing-something-different-for-a-change" moves. Heh. Now if you're playing with better and more advance players you should think before you toss your only weapon away..

If i have just gotten a good hit on the person adn I have a little force left then yea I'll use throw.

[Cheezball]

If a n00b can't jump over you and spin mid air to block the thrown saber, they deserve to take the dirt nap.

 

I haven't tried it but think it would be fun to Pull the thrown saber when fighting Saber Throw monkeys. Be nice if you could then dual wield sabers chasing them around.

wtf. of course u can't do that,
